Textile printing method by which fabrics are printed in different colors, art and design.This is a very old art developed and created on fabrics in Egypt in 5000 BC Fabrics also found printed in Greek during the 4 th century. BC should also be noted that the plates were obtained from India in the fifth century. BC During this time, France acknowledged a popular center for this type of fabric production and printing. Japan has been popular for adding stencil work in wood, making blocks and further by inserting the die, and prints it in the tissues.
In the mid-15 th century with the invention of the printing press of Gutenberg, John could see a dramatic change in printing technology and textile printing. After practice, William Caxton in England, there was a remarkably broad support seen in printing technology in 1476. At sixteen and seventeen century with the export of spices, India has become a major supplier of printing fabrics and products, like cotton, pajamas, umbrellas, cotton twill, cotton and khaki in accordance with the requirements of European countries. Then the efforts of Grant, Thomas Bell, and many printers, the invention of solid wood (1760), copper block (1770) and copper roller (1797) printing technology in the eighteenth century, especially the tendency of cotton print distribution still can be seen on the Toile de Jouy museum.
The history of fabric printing in Dartford goes with the adoption in August Applegath of silk printing house in the city and its stable until 1865 when James Keymer, a new cloth printing works on the river Darent. In 1907 Samuel Simon was used by the system print fabric in which structures were formed from stencils through screen printing machines. In 1940 the first photographic stencil was built up by Colin Sharp. Following the development of computers, the printing process and its development efforts aimed at their colors.
Development in the past two decades
With improved printing technology, color inkjet printer has an important role in digital fabrics for the consumer market in late 1980. At this time Canon and Hewlett-Packard became leaders in printing technology. Company Canon Bubble Jet printers have been received so acceptance in the market. Again, new technologies aimed at improving them with the existence of large format color inkjet printer - the printer Iris in 1990, but that technology is not regarded as an ideal tool for tissue because of light-sensitive color problems, and it was accepted for printing paper .
Previously, a direct printing method is used for fabrics with a computer and printing is done from a computer ink, there was a time when the fabric was printed using only black images or text from the presence of only laser printers and tape printers, and there was no color printers. In 1999, the Bubble Jet offset printing technology developed, which allows tissue to be treated, combined in freezer paper and iron, and then work through your inkjet printer.
The meaning of tissue Digital / Textile Printing
Digital printing fabric technology existed since the last decade, it emerged after 1994.This is a skill that prints designs on fabric, directly from the computer without any additional effort, as well as printing and design of paper. Digital textile printing flexible tool and key suitable for the vision of mass customization. This allows the user to bypass the screen decision-making process by offering the ability to quickly change the color or design elements prior to printing.
